As Mars transits into Virgo, you may find your relationship thrust into a period of heightened critique and meticulous analysis. The vigorous Martian energy, combined with the practical and perfectionist Virgo, drudges up details from the relationship's terrain that invites you-a couple-to more committedly finesse your interactions. Ironing out the smaller wrinkles in your rapport becomes non-negotiable, so a period of marked communications, labor, and development is anticipated. Be prepared for the diligent work of improvement that Mars in Virgo necessarily marks.

Mars squaring composite Lilith in Taurus suggests first that the roots of such practical concerns from your bond trace back to essential issues about palatability, possessions, pleasure, and prosperity. Lilith in the sumptuous sign of Taurus suggest deep-seated struggles about physical comforts, sensual delights, and value-balance, and this square may create further friction along these dimensions. Mars in Virgo's criticality and Taurus Lilith's luxuriant defiance may cause a conflict of values that could be tumultuous. This square transit could provoke unspoken tensions regarding security and resource sharing to surface.

However, this tension, expressed by the square, is not insurmountable. Harness the discerning Virgoan energy to identify patterns of imbalance in your relationship, and use Taurus' stubborn grounding to stick out the potentially stormy phase ahead. While Mars in Virgo applies a relentless drive to perfect, Lilith in Taurus thrashes against constraints-thus, you'll need to balance accepting raw feelings and confronting unpleasant issues.

This transit is a developmental opportunity for your relationship. As you confront patterns of discontent, don't lose sight of the necessity for balance. Facilitating open communication about value systems and individual needs will allow the relationship to thrive and ensure a constructive resolution to this transit's trials. A considered mixture of Mars' energy and drive, Virgo's analytical precision, and Taurus' solid, earthly grounding will see you through. Remember to dissect without devaluing, provoke without needlessly inciting. Make use of this challenging but ultimately beneficial transit.
